Description of Course
Have you ever heard yourself or a client say, “part of me thinks this and another part thinks that?” We all have different parts or selves that are talking in our heads, influencing our thoughts, our perceptions and running our lives. As coaches we are actively listening for those cues and asking questions to help our clients deepen their awareness. What if there were a practice that you could use to help you? In this session you will be introduced to Voice Dialogue, a methodology to help contact, learn about, and work with the many selves that make up each of us.
Voice Dialogue can be used in any coaching session for the purpose of creating trust and safety, evoking awareness, removing obstacles and generating action. At the very foundation of Voice Dialogue is deep listening, open-ended curiosity and respecting all parts of the client. In this session you’ll learn from experts, Jan Berg and BJ Levy, about how it works, how to use it and how you can apply aspects of it in your own coaching.
